Recording BBC radio listen again? how to record on Apple Macintosh?


 
Is there anyway that i can use my mac to record the
Code:
www.bbc.co.uk/radio2
listen again feeds?

for example some BBC listen again radio shows can be listened to for 7 days only. Can i record them as an mp3 or similar file to listen to offline?

ideally this needs to be done without having to listen to the programme whilst it saves. just download it as a file.

i know there are Replay Media Catcher and WM Recorder for windows that did this. Can i do it on Apple Macintosh?

thanks

Jaksta for Mac is the only RTMP stream recorder for Mac OS X that allows to download RTMP streams automatically.

You can also try to find RTMP URLs and other parameters of RTMP streams using WireShark and then download them with rtmpdump

Can anyone help me record/save/capture/download from BBC iPlayer on a Mac OS X?


 
I am trying to save the documentary video at the end of this article:
_http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/adamcurtis/2011/02/sadats_dat.html
I am using Mac OS10.6.6

By looking through the browser cache, I found an XML file that the page accesses:
_http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/4/mtis/stream/p00f6n4s

This is a portion of that XML file:
HTML Code:
<media bitrate="800" encoding="h264" expires="2041-02-22T23:59:00+00:00" height="360" kind="video" service="intl_ibroadcast_streaming_medium" type="video/mp4" width="640">
<connection application="ondemand" authExpires="2011-02-24T07:36:23+00:00" authString="auth=daEcebncjdVa3bdcbcrd4asc4cVaEdAcVdI-bnzE_s-bWG-FooFJqDnKCqGoyJ&aifp=v001&slist=public/unsecure/curtia03-00043765-cairocalm_4x3_Flash8_v1_1;public/unsecure/1500kbps/curtia03-00043765-cairocalm_4x3_Flash9_Hi_v1_0.mp4;public/unsecure/800kbps/curtia03-00043765-cairocalm_4x3_Flash9_Med_v1_0.mp4" identifier="mp4:public/unsecure/800kbps/curtia03-00043765-cairocalm_4x3_Flash9_Med_v1_0.mp4" kind="akamai" priority="5" protocol="rtmp" server="cp44293.edgefcs.net" supplier="akamai"/>
</media>
I then tried to use RTMPDump as follows:
Code:
rtmpdump -r rtmp://cp44293.edgefcs.net/public/unsecure/1500kbps/curtia03-00043765-cairocalm_4x3_Flash9_Hi_v1_0.mp4 -u daEcebncjdVa3bdcbcrd4asc4cVaEdAcVdI-bnzE_s-bWG-FooFJqDnKCqGoyJ -V
And I get a server error

This is the verbose log:

Jaksta for Mac can download RTMP streams from BBC and other web-sites.

Stream Recorder, Jaksta did not detect this stream.

nullacht, thanks! How did you find the URL to use?
Does it matter if I use version 2.2 or 2.3? (I couldn't find a Mac intel32 build)
I think a lot of the rtmp arguments you used are redundant, are they not?

Wireshark.

Maybe. Try it yourself!

It works and that is the main thing. ;)

Re: Trying to save streaming BBC video using Mac OS10.6.6


 
That worked perfectly. Using to this method, I was able to download another stream on that site too. Thank you so much.

By the way, it took me a long time to hunt down the arguments I needed from the Wireshark capture. Is there a quick way to filter for it?

Can anyone help me record from BBC iPlayer on a MAC?


 
Hi

I have just switched to a MAC. I used Freecorder on my PC to record programmes form the BBC which I can listen to on my iPod later.

I can't find an equivalent for the MAC. I tried 6 different products today but none would record from the input stream. They will all record from the microphone input but I want to record without having to keep quiet for an hour!

Any answers gratefully appreciated. As I have never used a forum before, I'd appreciate a direct response at davebwiseman@googemail.com

PS I have no problem purchasing a product if it does the job

Have you tried to use Jaksta for Mac?

Re: Can anyone help me record/save/capture/download from BBC iPlayer on a Mac OS X?


 
Can anyone help me with a similar request? I'd like to capture the audio stream at http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01p3mf7 before it expires in 2 days. I'm attempting to capture using NirSoft's RTMPDumpHelp in connection with rtmpsuck.exe/rtmpsrv.exe. I have not had any success when I use rtmpsrv.exe. When I switch to using rtmpsuck.exe I have intermittent success but cannot capture the entire stream -- the last ~ 30 minutes are missing :( Can I somehow skip ahead to capture only the final half of the stream, and then I could combine that with the beginning half that I have successfully captured?

Here's what I'm seeing in the rtmpsuck.exe window:
